Friday's Horse Racing Tips: Newbury, August 16th

Today’s Horse Racing Tips – August 16th
There are seven meetings in Britain and Ireland on a very busy Friday of competitive racing, with flat action from Cork, Epsom, Newbury, Newmarket, Thirsk and Wolverhampton (AW) keeping punters and bookmakers on their toes through to the evening. Jumping fans have big fields to study at Tramore, where a big crowd is assured and the fixture getting underway at 5.00pm.

Today’s Daily Nap
Miss El Fundi
Newbury 2.05 (UK time)
Sir Mark Prescott has enjoyed a terrific couple of months with a succession of well backed winners (six in the last fortnight at a 43pc strike rate), and his progressive filly is fancied to make a winning start in handicaps at Newbury on Friday. She impressed when routing some modest rivals on the all-weather at Kempton in July, and had shaped with plenty of promise on the turf previously at a time when the yard was still quiet.
Odds: 4.50
Today’s Value Angle
Game Set
Newbury 4.20 (UK time)
Owen Burrows 4-y-o has run with promise in all three handicaps since undergoing a gelding operation in the winter, and might just have been building up to full fitness. The drop back to seven furlongs on fast summer ground could be his optimum under a positive ride (weakened late up the Sandown hill over a mile last time), and he remains open to improvement after just four career starts on the turf.
Odds: 7.00
